The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on August 14, 2012 (77 FR 48555). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 748, ``National Source Tracking Transaction Report.'' 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0202. 4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 748. 5. How often the collection is required: On occasion (at completion of a transaction, and at inventory reconciliation). 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Licensees that manufacture, receive, transfer, disassemble, or dispose of nationally tracked sources. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 13,523. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,400 (260 NRC Licensees + 1,140 Agreement State Licensees). 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 1,601.5 hours. 10. Abstract: In 2006, the NRC amended its regulations to implement a National Source Tracking System (NSTS) for certain sealed sources. The amendments require licensees to report certain transactions involving nationally tracked sources to the NSTS. These transactions include manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. This information collection is mandatory and is used to populate the NSTS. The public may examine and have copied for a fee, publicly available documents, including the final supporting statement, at the NRC's Public Document Room, Room O-1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

In addition, licensee recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis, and reporting of transfer of byproduct material must be reported every calendar year, and in some cases, every calendar quarter. 4. Who is required or asked to report: All specific licensees who manufacture or initially transfer items containing byproduct material for sale or distribution to general licensees, or persons exempt from licensing, medical use product distributors to specific licensees, and those requesting a certificate of registration for a sealed source and/ or device. 5.

It also prescribes requirements governing holders of the specific licenses. Some of the requirements are for information which must be submitted in an application for a certificate of registration for a sealed source and/or device, records which must be kept, reports which must be submitted, and information which must be forwarded to general licensees and persons exempt from licensing.
